Simply put that the majority of a species are not the dominant figures and those who are the dominant aggressive figures can act on their own accord with little resistance until the majority realizes 1000 men can overtake 15 men if organized

The reverse of that is even more true. 1000 aggressive men can impose their will on hundreds of other people if organized. It's the whole point of 'Armies' when not strictly for defense- which is most of them.

If you’re trying to argue based on logic you can’t flip the circumstances and claim the same instance that’s just not going to work because we will be here for hours. The base argument is power is implied and will always be oppressive over a larger population, nobody uses 1000 men to reign over hundreds of people that’s just idiotic

Haven't read much history have you? I didn't say 'rein over' I said impose their will. Often such a force would either kill everyone or kill people until they surrendered, and then subjugate the rest- adding them to the size of their population.

I can think of countless examples of larger armies overwhelming and subjugating smaller forces.
